Aaron Connolly dispatched after being found by Jones from the right, but his celebrations were swiftly cut short by the raised assistant’s flag signalling offside. Marc Bola made his first start after injury in place of Neil Taylor, Lee Peltier replaced Anfernee Dijksteel, who missed the trip due to illness, and Andraz Sporar returned to pair Aaron Connolly up front. And Wilder made aggressive changes looking to build a comeback, with Duncan Watmore and Josh Coburn added to his forward line from the bench, Connolly coming close to another which could have made things interesting when he whipped a shot narrowly wide.

“£20k cash reward if anyone lets me know anything that leads to the recovery of the watches,” McBurnie added, “or the rats that done it.” McBurnie posted on his social media profiles about his house burglary, offering a £20,000 reward for information about the “rats” who stole a collection of luxury watches – including seven Rolexes and a Patek Philippe. McBurnie appeared to be taking the chant – “He’s got no watch and he’s on the bench” – in good humour, but couldn’t resist celebrating his teammate’s ridiculous moment of individual brilliance in his tormentors’ direction.

Luton have already signed one Motherwell academy graduate in the last 12 months, Allan Campbell. Johnston's performances have attracted suitors and according to the Daily Record, Sheffield United and Luton are interested. English Championship clubs Sheffield United and Luton Town are reported to be keen on Motherwell's Max Johnston.

United leapfrogged Boro and climbed to fifth in the Championship with a victory and made quite the promotion statement with their comprehensive victory.

Heckingbottom said: "They were fantastic, really good with the ball and without the ball but they are only able to do that if the boys around them perform their roles and the lads did it, and we'll speak about those two but the others had to do their roles for them to perform." Heckingbottom says what most pleased him was the manner of the victory. United raced into a three goal lead before Folarin Balogun was gifted his first Boro goal.

Blades supporters have made it clear who their first signing should be if they secure promotion back to the Premier League.

Leave it here and join in our weekly Sheffield United webchat as we discuss the latest goings on at Bramall Lane. Star of the show, and not for the first time in a red and white shirt this season, was the Wolves loanee. The Blades moved up to fifth in the Championship table with a convincing 4-1 victory over Middlesbrough last night and with it sent a huge statement to the rest of the division.

A BITTERLY disappointed Chris Wilder has challenged his Middlesbrough players to prove they are better than they showed in last night's 4-1 defeat…

“We created a couple of chances and should have scored at 2-0, but that wouldn’t have changed the dynamic of the game. You can sense if they’re over-confident or a bit complacent, but I have to say, I never saw that at all. You’ve got to be a player – and I didn’t have one player out there. We didn’t have any part of the game. “This was a big game tonight, and if people want to play in big games, they’ve got to stick their chest out and play. “We got dominated from one to 11, right the way through.

He applauds all four stands, making sure to give the thumbs up in Boro fans' direction. Eventually up to his feet doing all the limping etc he can and getting plenty of stick off the Blades fans in the far stand He tries to curl one but it's well over. Good little spell just before the interval at least, something to build on perhaps, but it's a small positive from a poor half. Boro not had the start to the half they would have wanted. Good start from the home side. Boro barely got going but did create one big chance which Sporar has to score to half the deficit. Sporar with a lovely ball through for Jones to run onto and Norrington-Davies looks to tangle his legs. Drives at the Boro defence after a poor ball from Fry out. Egan heads back across and Robinson is on the penalty spot unmarked to volley home. Backpass to Foderingham who slips as he goes to clear. Have to put this quickly behind them and go again Saturday.

Aaron Connolly gets in behind Robinson down Boro's left and drills a ball across the face of goal but Wes Foderingham shows safe hands to intercept and hold on to the ball with a Boro playing lurking at the far post to tap in A great corner from Oli Norwood to the far post and John Egan heads back into the danger zone for Robinson to turn and fire home The visitors back in this and a moment to forget for Wes Foderingham, who slips after receiving a back pass and Balogun slots into the empty net.

Here we have everything you need to know about the Sky Bet Championship clash between Sheffield United and Middlesbrough.

I’m surprised the odds are in Sheffield’s favour, with Middlesbrough the more on form side, but I guess home advantage does play a part. With all things considered, this is going to be a tasty affair with a lot at stake. Here we have all the information you need to know before kick-off.

There are unlikely to be any major surprises in terms of Boro's team selection tonight, with Chris Wilder having revealed yesterday that Riley McGree is ...

Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom is hardly flush with options ahead of tonight's crunch clash with Middlesbrough at Bramall Lane.

Delighted to have him back in the squad and training, he gives us those options.” Heckingbottom, as we know, was brought to the club by Wilder and the Blades boss has admitted he’ll be sharing a beer with his counterpart afterwards. This season, Osborn has scored three times and assisted two in 25 appearances.

The Middlesbrough boss believes his former side are now showing their quality under Paul Heckingbottom.

Their midfield players won the major part of the game and the back three wrapped our two up. We got dominated from one to 11. If they didn't win every first ball they dropped on every second, they were brighter and sharper.

CHRIS WILDER has had plenty of enjoyable evenings at Bramall Lane over the years, watching his beloved Sheffield United hassle and harry their…

Instead, as had been the case at Barnsley, the Teessiders crumbled as they conceded two goals in the opening half-hour. Blades goalkeeper Wes Foderingham slipped as he was attempting to kick clear from inside his own 18-yard box, enabling Balogun to pick up possession and roll into an empty net. His impact has not been forgotten amongst the Bramall Lane support, and when his name was announced as he left the tunnel before kick-off, he and his assistant, Alan Knill, acknowledged the applause that rang around the ground. The hope would have been that Boro’s new-look defence stood firm for as long as possible. While Boro’s home form remains superb, they have now picked up just one point from the last available 15 on the road, a failing that could well prove terminal to their play-off ambitions. For the second successive away game, Boro found themselves three goals behind as their defence creaked and crumbled in the face of some forceful attacking.

“The Sheffield United supporters are very similar to Middlesbrough supporters. “I hope he and his staff get a great reception and I’m looking forward to having a drink with them after the game. In his press conference before the game, Wilder admitted he would be disappointed not to receive a positive welcome back to Bramall Lane.

Chris Wilder suffered a miserable return to Bramall Lane as Sheffield United swept aside Middlesbrough 4-1 to maintain their promotion challenge.

Balogun reduced the arrears three minutes later after capitalising on an error from Wes Foderingham, the keeper slipping after receiving a back-pass. The visitors had another opportunity to score when Aaron Connolly curled an effort just wide. Great link-up between Gibbs-White and Sharp saw the former through on goal but his effort was saved by Joe Lumley. It was 2-0 just two minutes later when Oliver Norwood won possession and found Gibbs-White, who passed to Sharp and the striker produced a clinical finish. John Egan had a chance early in the second half, heading over after meeting a corner from Hourihane. But Robinson added a third goal just before the hour mark with a shot on the turn after Norwood's corner was headed back by Egan. Wilder received a great reception from the United supporters having led the club from League One to the Premier League during his time in charge.
